History
This poster was created for the 1971 American theatrical release of two Hammer Horror films as a double feature: 'Scars of Dracula' (1970) and 'Horror of Frankenstein' (1970). Both films were produced by Britain's Hammer Film Productions, the legendary studio that revitalized Gothic horror cinema in the 1950s-70s. The double-bill format was a common marketing strategy in the early 1970s, allowing theaters to maximize audience appeal by pairing two horror films together. Original one-sheet posters from this era are highly sought after by vintage movie poster collectors and horror film enthusiasts. The bold graphic design, featuring Christopher Lee's iconic portrayal of Dracula, exemplifies the sensational marketing style of exploitation cinema. These posters appeal to collectors of Hammer Horror memorabilia, vintage cinema advertising, and Gothic horror enthusiasts who appreciate the cultural impact of these classic monster films on popular culture.
